ESM was developed at THR in order to combat and lessen the severity of the symptoms of PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome), which has crippling effects for addicts newly entered into sobriety. While ESM offers significant physiological responses in individuals, it offers positive psychological shifts as well – including improved self esteem, feelings of accomplishment, and reduction of anxiety, stress, and depressions.
